It seems that life strikes again and I had another unfortunate week long hiatus. My apologies. Anyway, to business!
Last weeks episode was a bit of a shocker, but at the same time felt a bit like they were treading water. It was a Jin-centric episode that had, at times, a confusing amount of flash forwards and flash backs. For those of you who didn't understand what was going on with the whole Panda bear thing, that was a flashback, not a flash forward. We know this for several reasons, when he delivers the bear the baby is a boy (Sun has a girl). The show playing in the background in the toystore is 'Expose', a soap opera about a certain exotic dancer who gets shot when she finds out her boss was the "kingpin". It's the year of the dragon, the last of which was in 2000. And, when asked when he was having a baby, he said he had only been married for 2 months.
Also in last week's episode we discovered that Juliet can be a frigid bitch, willing to do anything to accomplish her objective; In this case, to get Sun off the Island quickly so she doesn't die.
We also see a Jin's supposed grave with the date of his death being that of the plane crash. I think this is interesting. I really think that the writers are playing with the timeframe here because interestingly only Hurley comes to meet Sun. I think this is meant to imply that Jin is actually still alive on the Island to accomplish something (likely something we'll find out by the end of this season) and simply sent her Sun to Korea to have the baby safely. I also think that she has every intention of returning with Hurley. That's just a guess, who knows what's really going on.
And finally, the 'big reveal', of the episode was that Michael was on the freighter under the alias Kevin Johnson. This raises several interesting question, how could he have possibly gotten off the island, and completely changed his identity in the short 30 days he's been off the island? Clearly it has something to do with Ben and probably WAAAAALLLLTTT. Also, why has he returned? Where is Walt? What was he doing the whole time he was off? And how long exactly was he off the island? We already know there's a time difference from the Island and from the 'real world', hopefully we'll find out tonight.
Tonight's episode centers around Michael. And if ABC's promos are to be believed, someone is going to die. My bets are on Claire. Why else would Kate have her baby? We shall see. Who do you think will die? What do you think Michael was doing while he was gone? Do you have any grand, unifying theories about what's REALLY going on yet?
